…
"Golden House (special building): A forbidden building built by hundreds of high-level wizards from the Etheric Society.
…

…
Spell resistance: 99%
…
Insight Saving Throw: 199
…
Requirements for opening: Secret Door Knowledge 699 and Ether Knowledge 699"
…
See here.
Roger's eyelids twitched involuntarily.
After the pupil shrinks.
The dazzling golden light gradually faded.
The eaves and door walls exposed on the outside of the mountain are covered with obscure arcane runes.
With Roger's etheric knowledge.
At most, I can only understand that these runes point to different fields: "Alchemy", "Tracing the Origin", "Spell Dilution", "Physical Repair"...
These rune strings are mixed together, and the order of arrangement and combination changes from time to time.
Every order.
Each represents a different constant effect.
Roger couldn't help but be fascinated by it.
But soon.
The strong feeling of discomfort pulled him out of his addiction!
…
"Tip: Your knowledge is not enough to interpret the shallow information flow of the Golden House. Forcing yourself to read it will not only risk 'compensatory vomiting', but will also cause you to lose some of your 'concentration'."
…
Roger rubbed his eyelids.
Force yourself to look away from the wall.
After the initial excitement.
His thoughts gradually became clear.
Without a doubt.
The golden house before us is the trump card that the Ether Society prepared to use to resist the forbidden spell of destruction!
Although he found fragments of the Golden House in the "Plains of Ashes", he also sensed the scene of the "Golden House" being destroyed by Griffith.
But there must be something hidden behind all this.
"There are many possibilities..."
"It's possible that the Etheric Society built more than one Golden House. After all, there's no reason for mages not to understand the principle of a cunning rabbit having three burrows. But they were still caught by Mystra, and she eventually sealed the Golden House here..."
"It's also possible that the Golden House that Griffith destroyed was just a fake."
"Even... it is not ruled out that Mystra and the Aether Society are directing and performing the show themselves - as for whom they are performing it, I don't know..."
With the blessing of imagination.
Roger could find many reasonable explanations for the existence of the Golden Room.
But none of this really matters.
The key is.
The "Golden House" is now ownerless!
The Ether Society has long since vanished into the dust of history.
Mistra has most likely been reincarnated as well.
Roger can definitely use it as one of his trump cards to resist the forbidden spell of destruction!
but.
The rigid conditions for opening the "Golden House" made Roger heartbroken.
Neither "secret knowledge" nor "ether knowledge" is his area of expertise.
Although he has recently been making the move towards becoming a widely read person.
But compared with the knowledgeable mages.
Still at the semi-illiterate level.
600+ points of knowledge usually means that one has reached the pinnacle in the relevant field.
The kind who can single-handedly engage in a debate with half the people on the planet.
Hence this cold golden house.
Roger could only watch with envy.
He then took two steps back and used his powerful perception to detect the structure of the Golden House within the belly of the volcano.
Next second.
A slight surprise appeared on Roger's face:
“This volcano is actually fake?”
"The lava that spurts out from time to time is a constant spell effect at the bottom of the Golden House!"
"Is this to reduce the chance of being discovered?"
"Is this design the work of Mystra or someone from the Etheric Society?"
In the face of all these strange things.
The fog in Roger's head continued to grow.
In the secret room.
He pondered and opened the "Voice of God" he had intercepted earlier.
After a moment.
An indifferent and cold voice sounded beside Roger's ear.
The voice was not human.
It sounds a bit like an electronic synthesizer sound.
…
"The planet is getting colder.
Even if all the fires were lit, they couldn't warm my body.
I could feel it dying little by little.
Oh!
The planet at the end is indeed ominous.
After Xuan.
It's my turn now.
Maybe I shouldn't have been so impulsive back then...
Or maybe.
If the tenth planet still exists.
Everything will be different.
I actually have no regrets.
I've almost forgotten my emotions as a human.
But I still feel cold.
mysterious.
When will you come back?
…
“O and Quinan came to see me.
They told me I was healthy.
But aren’t their mood swings too obvious?
It seems that even if he became a god.
These male creatures still don't know how to hide their emotions.
What a good-for-nothing.
See them arguing.
I suddenly felt a little warmer.
In a trance.
I thought I was back to the old days.
But the cold facts tell me.
Gone are the days when I could just flirt with men and make them fight for me...
I'm getting old.
I am dying.
perhaps.
What should I do?
…
“I found a way to transcend.
to this end.
I have to take some risks...
But I can’t care less.
Before reincarnation.
I will remember these words:
…
The azure lake surrounds the Golden Autumn Palace.
Gray water and white mountains reflect the fangs of giant snakes.
The day when the ten thousand feet of creatures were executed.
It’s time for me to return
…
When I heard the last sentence.
Roger had this picture in his mind:
He saw a girl with a ponytail standing in front of a huge gate of light.
Same as the meeting with the Sea Serpent Queen.
He couldn't see the girl's face clearly.
But you can feel the youthful and energetic aura of the girl.
The girl was wandering outside the light gate.
Repeating this seemingly true but false words over and over again.
Finally.
She turned suddenly.
He smiled in the direction of 'Roger'.
Then he walked into the light gate.
…
"Sixth Sense: You captured the image left by Mistra's reincarnation."
…
"Behind the light gate is the main material world of the planet 'Mystra'"
…
"so……"
"Mystra's reincarnation went to Mystra?"
Roger gradually came to his senses.
"The Voice of God" provides a lot of information.
His focus was not only on the few secret words that Mystra asked her to remember before reincarnation.
It is more about some of the secrets revealed in these voices.
"At least two points can be confirmed."
Roger analyzed calmly in his mind.
…
"First, it was indeed Mystra who instigated the Blood Crow to attack the wilderness. Her purpose was to make herself more 'warm'?
Can the flames of war in the mortal world warm the bodies of gods?
Isn’t this too ridiculous?
But it is a crisis that can make the gods feel afraid.
I'm afraid it's not cold or warm in the physical sense.
It may be another irresistible force.
Eventually she had to reincarnate like Quinan...
wrong.
From a chronological perspective.
It could be that Quinan was imitating Mystra.
Maybe Mistra infected Quinan?
"Well, what about Ao?"
Think of this.
Roger was terrified when he thought about it.
Suddenly I remembered an advertisement slogan I often heard in my previous life:
"I have onychomycosis."
"One infects two."
Just think of this.
The feeling of terror that had just come over me suddenly disappeared.
…
As for the second point.
Naturally, it is the identity of "Xuan".
In the heart of Mistra.
Roger noticed her special feelings towards Xuan.
For O and Quinan.
Mystra displayed a condescending attitude.
Like a goddess and a dog.
But for Xuan.
Roger always felt that her voice was full of guilt and attachment.
"Is Xuan related to the legendary tenth planet?"
"But in the mythology of the Korvas people, they once had a planet. Could that be the tenth planet?"
"Martial artists and gunmen, could it be that they really have the same goal?"
…
In the secret room.
Roger thought a lot.
Put aside those weird ideas.
Some things are certain—
For example, Mystra did imprison herself here.
For example, after her reincarnation, she went to the main material world.
And that impressive single ponytail image.
Considering that the entrance from "Purgatory" to the main material world is in Blood Crow Castle.
It is not surprising that some people from the Savior Army claimed to have seen the reincarnation of Mystra in Blood Crow Castle.
After all, Mystra should have just completed her reincarnation at that time.
She had not mastered the means of restraining her own aura, so the phenomenon spread over a small area.
Roger was able to further intercept that vision from the "voice of God".
Mages with powerful divination abilities can naturally do this.
What a pity.
It is not difficult to infer from the time of Quinan's reincarnation.
It had been many years since Mystra 's reincarnation had traveled to the main material world.
Whether it's the Salvation Army or Roger.
It was a wasted trip in the end!
"It's not a wasted trip."
"Finally, I met some brothers with whom I could develop deep relationships..."
"besides……"
When thinking like this.
Roger's eyes moved back to the door of the Golden House.
Next second.
He suddenly opened the Xiayin world!
The volcanic horned demon howled and rushed out!
Woodpecker and the others had been holding back for so long that they were already extremely hungry and thirsty.
And Hades is as flattering as a dog.
But the goat-headed man was the first to rush up:
"Owner!"
"What do you want me to do?"
"Please give me your orders!"
Look at the devils working so hard.
Roger was genuinely satisfied.
He then waved his hand and pointed his index finger at the door of the Golden House!
"Understood!"
Hades made a prompt decision:
"We're going to tear down this door right now!"
Roger shook his head.
Hades paused for a moment, a thoughtful look on his face.
At this moment.
The woodpecker finally found an opportunity to interrupt:
"Let's dig this door out of the mountain right now!"
Hearing this.
Hades was somewhat annoyed.
He looked at the woodpecker with a threatening look.
But the next second.
Roger was still shaking his head.
Just as the devils were trying to figure out their master's thoughts.
Cindy, who had just finished a new round of automatic picking, couldn't help but interrupt and say:
"Why don't you try to move this mountain?"
The demons were shocked.
Roger smiled and gave Cindy a thumbs up.
Then he hung the anchor point of the Hidden Realm on Cindy.
"Please help me keep an eye on them."
“When I come back, I want this mountain to be ours.”
Having said this.
Roger left the mountain in a leisurely manner.
All that was left were the devils looking at each other in bewilderment.
…
Roger had a brief exchange with the two Wilderness Gods on the Cage Island.
After implicitly mentioning that the gods have been reincarnated.
The white horse and the feathered serpent tactfully did not ask any more questions.
After Roger asked them about their subsequent plans.
The two did not hide anything.
The Quetzalcoatl God said respectfully:
"We are going to hold a 'wake-up ceremony'."
"The Purgatory was originally the 'wilderness'. After the death of the Blood Crow, the power from the Purgatory will become weaker and weaker. This is the perfect time for us to build a defense line..."
"Once the 'awakening ceremony' is completed, the power of the wilderness will be revived here, and the entrance to Purgatory will become very narrow. Only some low-level monsters can invade. Naturally, there is no need to worry at that time..."
"Our potential enemy at the moment is the Savior Army that appeared earlier. Their people are still trying to spy on the secrets of this place, but the awakening ceremony can also block the mages' spying..."
Quetzalcoatl described it in great detail.
Roger nodded after listening.
It would certainly be a good thing for him to be able to return to his original state in the wilderness.
At least the old friends in Tongma Town can live relatively safely.
And the various secrets hidden here will be better preserved——
Whether it is the "Ascension Cave" or the "Dead Forest".
These are all treasure locations that Roger is not very willing to share with others.
He hinted at it with the Wild Gods.
White Horse and Quetzalcoatl are both very insightful guys.
After hearing Roger's needs.
They immediately said they were satisfied.
The Wilderness Temple will send more Knights to guard the New Yuntai Mountain.
As for the cemetery.
They can't exert influence though.
But you can place some wild beasts as secret sentinels.
Roger can be notified at the slightest sign of trouble.
The Wilderness Temple can do this.
Roger was also very satisfied.
At that moment he said goodbye to the two gods of the wilderness.
Rushing towards the east in a hurry!
Although the blood crow is dead.
But Bloodraven Castle still stands in the eastern part of the Inferno.
Roger's next step is to return to Mystra.
Naturally, we must take over the entrance to the main material world in the Blood Crow Castle as soon as possible!
Before leaving.
The White Horse God gave Roger one of her followers.
It was a horse with white hair and a strong body!
…
「Steed Horse Lizzie (Lv59/Wilderness Template/Strange Creature)」
「Trait 1: Rapid progress」
"A thousand miles a day: Lizzie has the pure bloodline of the God of the Wilderness, and can run long distances at an average speed of 120KM/H."
…
「Trait 2: Endurance」
"Tenacious endurance: Lizzy can run for more than 168 hours without feeling tired"
…
「Trait 3: Magical Mare’s Milk」
“Magic Mare’s Milk: Lizzie can secrete mare’s milk that can cure all diseases, restore spirits, and temporarily increase soul strength.
This milk can also be used as a material for alchemy and herbalism, and has a variety of powerful effects."
…
"Milk expression tips: up to 3 times a day.
Do not exceed 2 cups at a time.
Drinking tips:
Maximum 1 cup per person per day.
Drinking too much may cause drunkenness and dizziness.
…
「Trait 4: Herbivore」
"Herbivore: Lizzie needs very little grass to survive, run, and milk"
…
"It's a good horse."
Considering the unsustainability of the Somersault Cloud.
In the end, Roger was unable to resist the kindness of the God of White Horse.
He rode on a white horse.
Heading east.
In just over a day, they ran from the Prison Mountain Camp to the easternmost part of the "Funeral Mountains"!
And in this short period of time.
Roger also appreciated the beauty of Lizzie.
"It is rare to find a mount that does not shake without a saddle."
"And he runs fast and well."
"As for the effects of mare's milk... they are all minor details."
Outside the Blood Crow Castle.
He patted Lizzie's horse's back lovingly.
The latter ran away meekly and intelligently.
At that moment, Roger broke into the Blood Crow Castle alone.
What a pity.
This place has long been empty.
Roger had anticipated this.
On his way here, he discovered that the Funeral Mountains, which were once infested with monsters, were now sparsely populated.
After the death of Xuewu.
It was understandable that the demons, who had already suffered a crushing defeat in the Prison Mountain Camp, retreated completely.
Travel through the empty castle.
With the help of "Absolute Insight" and "Super Perception".
Roger easily found the entrance to the main material world hidden behind the castle's study.
It was a huge gate of light.
Hidden behind two mahogany bookcases.
Its appearance and style are exactly the same as what Roger saw in the Voice of the Gods.
He checked it out.
The level of this light gate is very high, and its properties cannot be modified by anyone below the level of a god. The demons should not have a chance to tamper with it when they retreat.
"Go through this door and you'll be able to return to Mystra!"
Think of this.
Roger was somewhat excited.
He almost couldn't help but take a step forward!
Fortunately, he restrained himself in time——
His mission in "Between Purgatory" is not yet complete!
He then left the city lord's bedroom.
Arrived at the bottom of the Blood Crow Castle.
In the art of qigong.
A rich and familiar scarlet mass came from the cracks under the dungeon!
Boom!
Roger dug away the dusty stones.
An even older teleportation array appeared before him.
Next second.
Roger decisively adjusted the stones around the teleportation array.
Then he threw a handful of ether powder on it.
…
"Reminder: Teleportation array activation completed!"
…
"You have obtained the 'Description of the Lower Plane'..."
…
"It has been confirmed that the time flow rate ratio between the Blood Crow Plateau and the main material world is 100:1."
…
"Do you want to teleport to 'Purgatory Lower Plane: Blood Crow Plateau'?"
…
"The Blood Crow Lord does have another origin."
Roger knew it.
The bottom plane is one of the vast worlds at the bottom of Purgatory.
Usually only 1~2 kinds of monsters are born in the lower plane of Purgatory.
There.
This is the real lair of the Blood Crow Lord!
The purgatory symbol next to the teleportation array clearly points out the speed of time flow in the lower plane!
The time between purgatory is now equal to that of the main material world.
Of course Roger would not miss such an opportunity!
Very quickly.
His figure disappeared on the teleportation array!
…
…
Two months passed in the blink of an eye.
Blood Crow Plateau.
Northeast corner.
A group of arrogant black crows flew over the blood-red stone forest in a domineering manner.
After a moment.
All that was left were the shriveled corpses of the blood crows.
The nearby Blood Crow smelled danger.
They flapped their wings and hid in underground caves.
But this time.
The terrifying group of black crows did not attack them again.
They stopped over the stone forest.
Circling constantly.
on the data bar.
…
"You have killed 1 Blood Crow, and have killed 264,840 Blood Crows in total."
…
"Your flash distance increases to 208 meters"
…
"You have completed the 24th Sin Mark, and you have obtained a new specialty: Destiny Dice."
…
"Destiny Dice: When you kill a new monster and are not satisfied with the attributes obtained by the 'Mark of Sin', you can kill another monster of the same type and refresh the 'attributes' obtained by the Mark of Sin."
…
"Note: The properties obtained the second time may not be better than the first time, please use it with caution."
…
“I’ll go!”
This moment.
For the first time, Roger felt what it meant to "meet too late"!
…
